Thank you...Jess, Sorry it took me so long to reply. Thank you so much for your kind words. I agree - she's a great teacher, for some people, just not for me. The chemistry thing is important. With horses, humans, and teachers.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01301980452160190844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561355549554649764.post-70464548234984807562014-03-31T09:23:30.603-07:002014-03-31T09:23:30.603-07:00Good call.

Students are humans, horses are practically humans, and not all humans have good chemistry. So you have to decide what's right for you and not base that decision on what works for other people, because you aren't those other people! Well done.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275971301824881125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561355549554649764.post-2027703371772822462014-03-23T14:33:15.320-07:002014-03-23T14:33:15.320-07:00Defend your Joy!Defend your Joy!Emmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05604374348789832550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561355549554649764.post-46795489595757766282014-03-23T05:40:52.822-07:002014-03-23T05:40:52.822-07:00I'm glad you stopped taking lessons from her. ...I'm glad you stopped taking lessons from her. Sticking it out and making yourself and your horse miserable in the process is like staying in a bad relationship in hopes that this time you wont say or do the wrong thing and that everything will be harmonious if only you could {insert perfect behavior here}. If its not working then its not working. Its no reflection on you, if anything its a reflection on her.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16373645714219556738noreply@blogger.com
